Oh my.

I just found a book on the colours of the galaxy in the library.

Oh em gee I want it.

I got all excited and Irish just walked off shaking her head.

Tssssssskkkk.

xo

Listening to the chatter of people I should be working with right now and the taping of keys as everyone types on computers around me.

quickie.

Beautiful.

This is just a quick blog because I don't want to get sidetracked from doing a moodboard for my current project.

Why is everything so complicated?
I'm really scared of losing Nutter and Gingey next year.
Which puts me on edge.
And makes me think do I really want to stay here without them?
But do I really want to move?
Not really.
To both questions.

And for another note.
I really miss my best friend from home.
For the past two weekends I've been home and I've seen her loads.
And now I'm back I feel like half a person without her.
And I'm starting to not want to talk to her because it makes me sad because I'm not there. But then if I don't talk to her I feel even worse because I'm not talking to her and it makes me miss her even worse!

Drama Dilemna.

Also. EJ is such an oblivious dope head.
Why do I still like him?
I'm still at a loss as to why this is!

Arrrrrrrr.


Addicted to this.



Want these.


And this.

The Fair.

I went to the fair this evening and it rained all evening.

I got completely soaked.

But I had a really nice evening so I really don't mind!

And my friends little sister was an angel all evening, so all in all very good.

I'm now going to play the sims till I'm too tired to even focus on the screen anymore!

Woooo!

Listening to Southbound Hangers - Tink First.

Macbeths designed by Dan Smith from LA Ink.

These are so beautiful!

I want them so much!

But I barely wear the pair I already have. But now it's getting warmer I think I can get them out again without worrying about having cold feet or it raining/snowing and getting wet feet.

Yay!

Listening to Furthest Drive Home.

New crush.

So Irish and I are going through an Inbetweeners phase.

And we're a little bit in love with James Buckley.

We also found out today that he did a DJ set in Amadeus nightclub in Rochester. Apparently it didn't go down so well!

We feel that the reason behind this is because Amadeus isn't the best place for indie music. Most of the people go there for chart music/dance. Not really indie.

Tap'n'Tin on the other hand would be PERFECT for James Buckley!

We feel that he should come back to play in Tap'n'Tin as this would be perfect for him and the people that go there would appreciate his music more.

Also we would quite like to see him after missing his first set, and we loooove him :)

James Buckley as Del Boy in Rock'n'Chips

So yes James Buckley if you read this please come to Tap'n'Tin in Chatham so that we can be there to support you with love in our hearts and smiles on our faces!

On a completely different note.

Irish, Irish' flatmate, Nutter and I have been looking at houses for next year. We've found a right sexy one. Which has a cellar. Of which we are not allowed to put chairs in?

Humm yeah.

Anyway we got the contract over the weekend and so we read over it this evening.

FIFTEEN PAGES.

Finding a house wasn't so much fun after all after that.

I mean I knew it would be lengthy but FIFTEEN pages of like size 10 text. Yeah WAY fun.

Took us three hours to get through it. I mean technically we were making jokes and getting excited over silly little things in between every two sentences but that is notttt the point.

I guess at least we actually went through it. I bet some stupid people don't even bother reading it :|

Why?

I have no idea you silly people.

It is like 2:30 am and I am slightly hyper. Slightly.

Irish found The Sims on Facebook. :O

I played that for about an hour and then my Sim went to sleep. No fun.

Oh well.

Considering I'm so bored I might go make a video blog.

I have nothing to do with my liiiiiiifeeeeeeeeeeee.

Oh oh oh.

Nevermind.

I was going to say Gingey came over today but that really wasn't important? At all?

No. It was just the only thing that came to mind.

Ciao!

Listening to Never Shout Never.

mmmm...

Interesting fact:

In the reception of Alexander McQueen is a stuffed polar bear.

I wanted to touch it.

Nina Ricci

I love the Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear Collection:

I saw the above dress and the dress above that in the Nina Ricci shop in Paris on Avenue Montaigne.

The dress above had a really interesting feature which was that the hems were basically unfinished. My friend didn't like this about the dress, but I actually did. I think it made it look more flowing, if the hems were finished I think it would have looked to formal and clean or even stiff, I quite liked the way it looked slightly rough whilst being a really nice dress.

I like this collection because the colours - pale pinks/nudes and blacks, reminded me of vintage inspired, and antiques.

The lace and the chiffon also added to the vintage feel of the collection. But the collection was also quite edgy with the way the fabrics were put together in a slightly messy looking way but organised at the same time.

This collection would make me feel like a princess if I wore it, I think.

I also love the Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection:

I really liked the huge fabric roses used on skirts and dresses in this collection. They make me want to reach out and touch them to feel the texture of the fabrics.

I also liked the way they've carried on the nude colours into Fall but making them warmer.

I love the use of the faux fur trimmings, reminds me of hand muffs. Maybe hand muffs will come into fashion? I can imagine rich women wearing Nina Ricci outfits with hand muffs out in the cold... Very chic.

Peter Copping please carry on going down this route, I think you're doing well this year.

I looooove it.

i'm obsessed with this mess that's america.

I can't stop dreaming of being Lily Allen.

What have I done today?
Not much...
Watched a programme about Alexander McQueen - twice.
Read about Fashion Psychology.
Wrote a letter.
Viewed two houses.
Dreamed about being Lily Allen.
Made apple crumble.

Not a very productive day to be quite honest.

Now I shall force myself to go to sleep with obsessive thoughts of Alexander McQueen.
*sigh*

ps. Listening to the whirring of someone else's extractor fan really isn't particularly entertaining.

Paris Photographs.

Bonjour!

So I'm back from Pareeeeeeeees!

Had a few surprises on the way to and in Paris :)

Bumped into Henry Holland on our Eurostar!

Clearly I don't make a very good Paprazzi but I really didn't want to come off COMPLETELY stalkerish.

Even though I did start shaking with excitement at the fact that we were going to be on the same Eurostar as him. And we did sit near him whilst waiting to board... and I walked in front of him when we got in to Gare du Nord in Paris. Love.

I sadly didn't have the guts to talk to him. I felt stupid because I was wearing his boots and I felt like a complete and utter gay. Tbqh.

I regret it now but hey. I always fear people are just going to be really rude to me.

It's the whole meeting your idols thing and them being rude to you which makes you dislike them. Don't want to ruin my view of him. Not saying he's horribe, just that he might not like me.

Although thanks to Grazia magazine on the Eurostar he watches Will and Grace (and has the boxset) just like me. Destiny!

Anyway... Paris!

It was so good to step back on to Parisian soil. Oh it's like coming home. Hearing the french talking all around me, seeing the french buildings, smelling the usual smell of roasting chestnuts on every corner, reminds me of Christmas times when my parents used to take me up to Paris to see the windows in Printemps and Galerie Lafayette. The memories came flooding back! Going in to Monoprix and remembering Mum buying me my first sunglasses of choice which had three little cats along the arms. Finding metro tickets in all the pockets of my clothes, remembering how angry Mum used to get when I forgot they were in my pockets and after washing my clothes finding them all crumpled up and smushed in the pockets.

It also reminded me of how rusty my french is getting! But brought a few words back to me.

We only spent three days in Paris but it felt like a week. We did so much!

My favourite part? (Not just seeing Henry Holland on the train)

Seeing Karl Lagerfeld walk into Chanel on Rue Cambon!

Even if it was just the back of his head. I don't care. It's made my day!

Next year I am sitting outside Chanel forever just to see his face!

Anyway I am crazy tired right now.

Think I might watch a film before bed time. Hopefully post some Paris photos tomorrow.

The black and white films will have to wait to be developed.

Au revoir!

its really strange.

I find it really strange to go on to the ASOS homepage and see the face of a boy I used to be friends with in secondary school. It's even stranger to find fashion blogs about how gorgeous girls think he is (this doesn't surprise me so much as most of the girls in secondary school thought he was hot then too). It's also weird to find he's changed his first name for his modelling career but hey.

It's even weirder to think that he's an adult now. I always imagine him as when I saw him last which was when he was being a proper boy and being boyishly nasty to my friends and I. Throwing stones at our tent in the middle of the night one night during a girls sleepover to scare us. Shooting water pistols at us over the garden fence... And he's an adult now? Times have changed!

He's a pretty damn good model I should say though.

I hope his career goes well :)

I really dislike...

When you get all excited to see someone and then you don't see them.
